Either when it is at war (when Axis invade) or, IIRC, around Spring 1942.boldairade wrote: Sun Oct 15, 2023 12:58 pm when can russia start to build something besides the awful 20 str corps? in terms of a date?
haven't played in forever
So in my experience this isn't true. I've been meaning to mention something about this. I tend to build nothing but armor and mech as the USSR from the start of the game, which with the 40% experience boost makes the USSR nearly impossible to dent. My last game the Germans got maybe 3 hexes into the USSR before they were stopped. The reason is, the USSR can build like 10 armor corps before the Germans invade in 1941 and they can use those corps to keep the Germans from being able to surround the Rifle corps. It makes it extremely difficult for the Axis to cut off and destroy those corps, which is the only real way to make good progress in Russia.Nirosi wrote: Sun Oct 15, 2023 1:33 pmEither when it is at war (when Axis invade) or, IIRC, around Spring 1942.boldairade wrote: Sun Oct 15, 2023 12:58 pm when can russia start to build something besides the awful 20 str corps? in terms of a date?
Maybe I will get to test this as the Axis...kklemmick wrote: Mon Oct 16, 2023 7:41 pm

I was going to suggest the the USSR only be allowed to build Rifle corps until 1942, which it sounds like is what they are intended to do? If that's the case it's broken because I never build any Rifle corps. Or do you mean, Rifle corps vs Infantry Armies?
Yes, I think he was asking when he will be able to finaly build infantry armies instead of infantry corps.kklemmick wrote: Mon Oct 16, 2023 7:41 pmSo in my experience this isn't true.
